TIGER STRIPES finished third to Probably in Group 2 company at the Curragh when last seen and if he runs up to his official rating of 98 then he will take plenty of berating this evening. King Of The Romans was bitterly disappointing at Roscommon last time but he has solid claims on the form of his Galway second prior to that. Seven Samurai, Moredanmijobsworth and Nabat Ali all merit consideration in what looks a decent maiden.

Desiderata was a disappointing favourite on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse last month but his previous form would give him claims. Marvelous James took a step in the right direction at Down Royal last time and he makes the shortlist, along with Cut Me Loose, but a tentative verdict goes the way of INDIGO RIDGE. She has not really built on her encouraging debut in two subsequent runs but an opening handicap mark of 67 might be within her capabilities.

RUMMAGING has been off the track since finishing runner-up to Brendan Bracken over 7f at Down Royal in June but that rival is now rated 108 so a reproduction of that effort might suffice here. Attire made a pleasing debut over this C&D back in May and she is a likely player if at the top of her game after her lay-off. Edge Of Sanity, Spirituality and Multitasking are also considered.

NO JET LAG found only the very useful looking Ashdan too good at Doncaster last time and he probably sets the standard for the others to aim at here. Lines Of Battle was narrowly denied by Grafelli in Group 3 company at the Curragh latest and he looks the most likely danger to David Lanigan's representative. Cougar Ridge was rather disappointing in the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury last month but it would be no surprise to see him fare much better here.

Whatever It Takes is fit from hurdling and he is a likely contender back on the Flat this evening. Fairylike is nicely handicapped on her best form and she is accorded the utmost respect, along with Foot Soldier. However, it might be worth taking a chance on Ger Lyons' handicap debutant INDURAIN. He was not disgraced at the Curragh last time, making eye-catching late progress, and his opening mark of 66 could be fair.

20:30 Dundalk (IRE) (Class 1) (3YO plus)

King Of Aran scored over 1m4f at the Curragh last month and he is respected despite his 6lb higher mark. Katevan is unexposed and she merits consideration, along with Shamooda, but ZALANGA gets a tentative verdict. She got off the mark in good style in maiden company over this C&D in August and there could be a good deal more to come from her now she tackles handicap company.

Better was expected of DALIYAN when he contested a maiden over 1m3f here back in March and it is highly likely that we have not yet seen the best of him. He is fancied to give a good account on his handicap debut. Tiffilia has solid each-way prospects on the form of her Clonmel second last month and Jimtown must be respected as he comes into this in good heart. Pires could also go well.

URBAN BALL is a very attractively bred filly and the second of her three runs earlier this year was very encouraging. The tongue-tie worn on that occasion, but not on her other two outings, is reapplied tonight and she could prove a tough nut to crack. Empress Of Tara has been knocking on the door of late and she will surely find an opening before long. Faanan Aldaar can also take a hand.
